It has been a pretty good week. Maura's sisters were in town for the weekend, so they had some good sister time together. She misses them very much.
It's been over a week since the transfusions. Her red blood cell count has stayed high (for her) while her platelets dipped again, but not too much. She has since turned the corner and the platelet count is on it's way up. White cells, too. Therefore, plans have resumed for Chemo Cycle 7. Injections on Wednesday and Friday and Chemo starting on Monday.
About Me

- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer.
